When I was wacthing season 2 on JL, and when Grodd form his gang.

When they were rushing each other, FOR SOME ODD reason that was just like the LOD rushing the Superfreinds in there TV song opeing. It was amazing lol.

Other thing in Heart of Ice, a HIDDEN theme to Batman in the Superfreinds.

MOST times, on the old TV show, Batman's signal WAS most often backwards. Like the Bat will be yellow with a black circle. Now EVEY ONE says its a mistake on Heart of Ice, but I SEE it has a hidden honor to the Superfreinds in Heart of Ice were they have Bat's signal backwards. Fan service if one likes.

Hawkgirl in Injustice for all, She has 3 wings for one movement. But IF YOU RELLY get to the nitty gritty, how many times did Hal Jordon or Superman or Batman walk around with THREE Arms on the old TV show.??? Could it be a hidden honor of the Superfreinds, I dont recall Hawkgirl having 3 wings OUTSIDE of injustice for all?? So maybe it was not a mistake lol. Ok they CANT get away with Superman having 3 arms, but One can get away with 3 Wings??? Right??

Of couse Legends was Superfreinds fanservice from start to finshing, the goofy villians and plots that make no sense. The one liners, The role call, Streek having ALMOST the classic Flash custom.

Flash's Superfreinds joke on Orgins.

Flash's Superfreinds joke on Orgins.yep.Bruce Timm flipped the logo on batman's costume as an honour to filmation.Flash's joke was hillarious.He usually gives alot of jokes,corny and funny,but i always laugh at any of them.

Good calls on all counts. I'm going through the old Batman cartoons right now, and I can see what you mean - there it's really noticable, as opposed to for a second or two.

Question: Why all the capital letters?

On the commentary for "Heart of Ice" Timm explains that the mixed up Bat-symbol was a genuine mistake from the overseas animators which he could have had corrected, but elected not to. It was a nod to the nostalgia he felt for Filmation's Batman cartoon from the 60's and 70's (I don't think he ever mentioned the Super Friends). That was the only time it ever showed up on BTAS.

The reversed signal showed up 2 or 3 other times in BTAS, but I can't remember what episodes it was now. It was always very brief--one or two frames--but they were there.

Speaking of the bat-symbol, in "A Better World, Part 1", when we first see the Justice League Batman, he wears the Beyond symbol on his suit, rather than the normal one. The next scene he's wearing the old one.

ToddmanI wish he did that in "I've got Batman in my basement" ,probably the worst episode of b:TAs.Just to give something really special in that episode.

In Only a Dream, if you look closely when J'onn and Supes go into GL's dream to fight Dr Destiny, theres a shot when John D's cape wraps around Superman to reveal that Superman has 3 arms:p

In addition to the Wonder Twins statues that appear in "Injustice For All", in part 1, after Batman helps save the little girl from the apartment fire, her dad shows up and briefly reveals he has a third foot.
